Schoey called the whole team out saying Hudds are a bunch of bottlers and didn't have it in them to get to the big dance. You totally blew it with in the last 10 mins last week and your ar$e completely fell out from about 2 minutes in tonight as well.

Schoey is completely correct. You can't really argue other wise.

Leeming was injured i believe?

but the only thing i would question PA over is bringing back Bailey and Ferres, bailey has been anonymous, although possiby understandable due to Leeming's injury? Ferres has done OK, but i can't help feel that it maybe affected momentum?

as for last night, it was typical fartown wasn't it? get the interest up, get the fans turned out, get expectation high and serve up utter dross like that.
i was down at the front at the end and i could see how hurt the players were and how reluctant they were to approach the fans in fear of being shouted down, but the fans were great, and supportive.

so we move on and we go again next year, and hopefully we can finally take that next step.

very disappointed but then again should i be as its what ive come to expect now from the giants.

anderson got the team wrong, connor should not have been playing, said a few times now about him and wardle in defence not being good enough and unfortunately it proved correct on the night. both need hard work in the pre season.

cant believe anderson didnt know his strongest 17 going into the last game of the season.

our hopes now hinge on hinchcliffe being a miracle worker for us otherwise will be more of the same.

Have to agree with Meast here, don,t tinker with a winning , settled side, for me Ferres returning was a wrong move, OK on his day a very good player, but niggly and gives away stupid penalties, he,s not alone there.
Ultimately Anderson has to carry the can for what is another end of season failure, he has a very good squad that clearly had a very limited game plan, every single player underperformed last night, ?

i actually think he got it wrong the week before, Connor and Murphy were /built up a good understanding on our left, both in attack and defence, wardle was going well in 2R but then he changed all that to accommodate Ferres, although Ferres played well v Leeds, for me it disrupted the left side that had done well.
last night connor was recalled and it meant moving wardle back to 2R, hindsight is a wonderful thing but for me, as i said weeks ago Ferres should not have been brought back in, not because he isn't a good player but because of the potential disruption to a winning and confident side.
sadly i think Connor suffered from that as he looked shot to pieces last night, i will be wondering forever now whether bringing Ferres back went some way to explaining our 2 losses at the end of season?

long before the leeds game i was worried about connor and wardle in defence.

dont think bringing ferres back made much difference to anything really, wigan were too good for us

the best two teams of the season are in the final too.

Well I hope Leeds win but Saints don't lie down for anyone.

Though we probably wouldn't have won regardless of who was playing.
Anderson was the first chocker and probably didn't show faith in certain players who maybe deserved it. Wether that affected the confidence I don't know.

The big loss was Leeds! Home advantage against a team we'd have just beaten could of been crucial. Had we won that we'd of taken on the winners of Wigan and saints who'd have knocked 7 bells out of each other.

Cracking effort by the crowd barring a few annoying chants which would not want me to play in a Giants shirt...

Pretending to score a try... And not wanting to get to old Trafford being the obvious ones.
Hey but at least you chant starters enjoyed them as our players were putting there bodies on the line!
